Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

3. DESCRIPTION OF AIR EXERCISE
a. APPLICABLE PROCEDURES AND CHECKLISTS
b. AIRCRAFT HANDLING TECHNIQUES:-
DEMONSTRATION
1. SLIDE-SLIP WHILE MAINTAINING TRACK –
NOSE YAWED
i. Establish the aircraft in a normal straight glide,
without flaps and properly trimmed , gliding into
the wind.
+
ELEVATORS:-
i. Lookout.
ii. Engine consideration for descending.
iii. Select a ground feature (into wind) directly
ahead of the aircraft to aid in maintaining
direction (i.e. road or railway).
iv. Note the rate of descent in the straight glide.
v. Note the IAS- nose attitude relationship.
vi. Entry:
a. Slowly apply aileron in the direction of
the required sideslip.
b. Maintain direction along ground feature
by applying (top rudder) to prevent the
aircraft nose yawing in the direction of
the side slip.
c. Maintain the normal gliding nose
attitude with elevators, note difference
in IAS reading at that nose attitude, as
well as increased rate of descend.
vii. During the sideslip:
a. Note the path of descent is at an angle
to the heading of the nose.
b. To increase rate of descent,
continuously apply further aileron in
direction of sideslip and additional
opposite rudder (top rudder) to prevent
the nose yawing, whilst maintaining
nose attitude with elevators.
c. The side slip limit has been reached
when full opposite rudder (top rudder)
has been applied and any further
aileron input will cause the aircraft to
turn in the direction of the side slip.
Note:
i. Continuously increasing rate of descent as
controls are applied further.
ii. IAS/nose attitude relationship for side slips to
different sides (due to pilot/static vent
position).
iii. Positive control application required to
maintain the side slip condition.
iv. Recovery from the side slip.
a. Simultaneously and smoothly
centralise rudder and ailerons, levelling
